Interesting Comment (Patreon)

I find this comment interesting and at least polite in the way it was put across. I occasionally get these comments from people who say they are or at least were fans but that my casual racism or Homophobia put them off. And that this is the reason my channel is not a success and that I loose fans every day.

MY THOUGHTS:

1) My channel has been consistent from the very first video and if anything I have smoothed down those edges more and more with each week posted so for someone to say they used to be a fan I don't believe holds any validity.

It always worries me when people actually take the things I say seriously because for me you instantly stand out as a person in real life who walks around looking for things to be upset about ("What do you mean when you say "those people") I have said this many times but do you get offended by Homer Simpson? David Brent from "The Office"? Do these people encourage Racism and Homophobia? Anyone who truly watches my stuff and knows I mock everyone equally, including myself, whether saying Australians are all poor with bad teeth and ride camels or Americans are Hillbillies or Japanese eat smelly food, every culture takes a hit and it is all in a silly ignorant way that if anything makes me look more like an idiot than anyone. My overt remarks about woman and sexism, is anybody out there thick enough to think that someone who thinks like that has the ability but put the films that I put together?

2) I Am a comedy writer and a director who observes what I see around me and include it in the content I make and these people who give advice like if you didn't do this or you didn't do that... well, I used to be a professional musician and was pretty close to doing well for myself but it got to the point that I got fed up with people saying...if you only did this kinda music.... if the song was a little shorter..... if you only dyed your hair black. I finally thought if I did all those things I would not be me and creating how I want to create.

I mix dark comedy, commentary and documentary together, when I started doing it I was unaware that no one really did it  (Yeah I know Rob Dyke says he does it but I have yet to see any intentional comedy) and I had a core audience that loved it and as that audience grew then you get the haters and I am no different.

If I remove the elements that I put into my work then I am compromising and without those elements I'm just making a TV show and if Im just making a TV show why am I here? And not on Television working to those tight uncreative remits where you loose advertisers if you say sodomy or you can't mention the girl was shot in the head or the killer had sex with her after she was dead.

3) I think people like this are sad because they are so insecure about themselves that to say a word like fruity offends them? Really? As a strait male I joke about myself all the time, the fucked up relationships the child support and the list goes on but what makes any person feel they are immune to being poked fun at? Ever been to a gay pride day? I told you all the story about the big fat bald red headed guy I worked with and he married another big fat red headed gay guy and they wore white suits and posted it on face book and everyone said who beautiful they are..... really? I can't joke about that? But I can joke about other obvious things but that is off limits? Strait men and strait woman are equally joke worthy, as I mentioned on an earlier post "POTHEAD MIIKE" our local on-line lathario doing his best "How you doin?" Joey impression and then later incurring wrath his and my way because they turn abusive and I block them.

So I thought id post this comment and get peoples thought, in my opinion I get shit all the time from, your voice is a joke, hard to take this seriously with your voice, what's with all the "trying too hard" to be edgy and the list goes on and on. I always think, if Im not trying hard then what am I left with? Not caring? Not trying hard enough? 

My fathering the summer had a massive stroke and was in a coma and I still kept posting, a young loved one was hit by a car, is that because I try too hard?  I am in a unique position where I have done what I have done for a long time so when someone says you should have your own show it means nothing because I have had many shows and the disappointment and disillusionment with that industry made me start posting on YT.

4) One of the first films I made for YT was when I was working in Asia doing a cooking series over there and I was stuck in a hotel bored of sitting by the pool waiting for the chef to get ingredients together and all the shit they do and I read about a man with Aspergers who had been needlessly murdered and it made me cry because I have a son with the condition so I made a film about it and the response was overwhelmingly but I thought nothing of it. Then I made a film on a childhood friend Darlene Prioriello who had been murdered and again the response was overwhelming and the same with Finding Guntar a story I had told for years and in fact touched upon that story several times over the years in a couple of TV shows I made and people always loved it, now apparently it is hate content.

As you can see to my response to this woman who is a Lesbian offended I say the word fruity and with anybody with any clue of Americana or historical references is a term used in America in the 30's and 40's and to be offended buy it Im really not sure who you can be gay and proud just as much as girlfriends I have had who call me a womaniser or a mysoginist and me being offended, I am who I am and words others create for me don't bug me, in fact I have lost track of how many times I have been called a fag growing up because people associate a certain look to being gay even when I walk into a room with a beautiful woman....it never bothered me because being gay isn't a bad thing in fact it isn't even a thing, why must some people make it a thing?

You can see in my comment that I do point out to this woman who says she is a fan that I have never seen her on PATREON or PAYPAL so she can't be that much of a fan. I now do what I do because of you guys and I pst on YT to bring more people here, I didn't do it for the "hey this is amazing you need your own show" crowd because unlike other YOUTUBERS , Im not aspiring to move to Television Im aspiring to create gritty entertainment that is also humorous and stands out immediately as different. 

Also when this woman says I complain about being de-monetised.... I've never been  monetised so how can I complain? I tick the adult content fully aware that will never happen and even when I don't tick it for some of my more tame pieces, the large group of haters follow me around and flag that video as offensive and YouTube acting accordingly. What I do complain about is YouTube sticking commercials in front of my work and giving someone else money and youth not even marking me as a creator so unlike other channels like "Criminally fisted" Rob Dyke" "Scary Mysteries" I can't email YT and ask questions or defend myself, they do what they want and treat me accordingly.

5) I tell this story to people about my old channel before is was removed, I was listed as a creator and YT sent out an email to me saying because of the watch time and number of subs you have we are inviting you to our creators conference where you can pick up tips and meet other YOUTUBER'S, and although this not being my sort of thing I thought, why not, In really interested in YT and the creativity I am able to practice here with my growing fan base. So I emailed them to book my spot and they emailed me back and said " We don't want your type of creator at our conference" and a month later my channel was taken down, when I appealed 10 minutes later that appeal was rejected.

So let me hear your thoughts guys and gals, and please don't say start another channel with cleaned up content.

And I don't post this to get  "Deadbug these people are dicks, you're great" I generally get to a point when things get tough of being baffled at how I can become a posting on Reedit where morons accuse me of having proxy accounts where I go around pimping myself. all this brings me closer to PATREON only.

And remember "Retard" is only a word, I don't provide any visual reference to it, the viewer creates that themselves.
